//GENERAL INFORMATION
The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek words: ‘Indos’, meaning Indian,
and, ‘Nesos’, which means islands. It is an appropriate description of the
archipelago as there are estimated to be a total of 17,500 islands, of which only
about 6,000 are inhabited, stretching for 5,150 km between the Australian and
Asian continental mainlands and dividing the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the
Equator.
Five main islands and 30 smaller archipelagos are home to the majority of the
population. The main islands are Sumatra/Sumatera (473,606 sq. km),
Kalimantan/Borneo (539,400 sq. km), Sulawesi/Celebes (189,216 sq. km),
Papua (421,981 sq. km), and Jawa/Java island (132,187 sq. km), home to 70
percent of the country's population. Indonesia shares Papua with Papua New
Guinea and two-thirds of the island of Kalimantan with Malaysia and Brunei.
The islands and people of Indonesia constitute the fourth most populated nation
in the world. As a democratic republic, Indonesia is divided into 34 provinces and
special territories and classified geographically into four groups. First are the
Greater Sundaes, made up of the larger islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan
and Sulawesi. Second are the lesser Sundaes, consisting of smaller islands from
Bali eastward to Timor. Third is Maluku/Molucca which includes all the islands
between Papua and Sulawesi. The fourth and final group is Papua in the extreme
eastern part of the country.
The Yogyakarta Special Region (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, DIY) is officially
one of Indonesia's 34 provinces. Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural
centres of Java. This region is located at the foot of the active Merapi volcano. In
the 16th and 17th centuries, Yogyakarta was the seat of the mighty Javanese
empire of Mataram, from which present-day Yogyakarta has inherited the best of
traditions. The city itself has a special charm, which rarely fails to captivate the
visitor.
This province is one of the most densely populated areas in
Indonesia. The city came into being in 1755, after the
division of Mataram into the Sultanates of Yogyakarta and
Surakarta (Solo). Gamelan, classical and contemporary
Javanese dances, wayang kulit (leather puppets), theatre
and other traditional arts will keep the visitor spellbound.
Local craftsmen excel in arts such as batiks, silver and
leatherworks.
Due to its location, Yogyakarta is often called the main
gateway to central Java. It stretches from Mount Merapi to
the Indian Ocean. There is daily air service to Yogyakarta
from Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as a regular train
service and the city is easily accessible by road. Yogyakarta
is commonly considered the modern cultural hub of central
Java. Although some may prefer Solo as a good runner up,
Yogyakarta remains the clear front-runner for traditional
dance, wayang (traditional puppetry) and music.
YOGYAKARTA offers more than just culture,
though. It is a very lively city and a shopper's
delight. The main road, Malioboro Street, is always
crowded and famous for its nocturnal food culture
and street vendors.
Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are
concentrated along this street or in the adjoining
tourist area, such as in SOSROWIJAYAN STREET.
